I haven't been seeing as much of the wild IRN of late. He spent a couple of hours chattering while hanging out in my Mimosa tree last Saturday (8/29) morning and came down to his perch and fed for a while, but I haven't seen or heard him since. One of the parrot toys has been chewed up a bit (the ki...

I did that a couple of weeks ago, loll =-- I hung two parrot toys with bells and a bird mirror -- yeah, I went a little parrot-nutsy, loll!

Wessel, are you saying that if he's got a mate, he's not a free bird anymore, ha! I don't believe much in marriage myself, so you've got a point, lol. I know the parrot I saw is a male because he clearly has the black ring - hopefully I'll get a glimpse of both tomorrow morning! In addition to the c...

She also saw them flying together having a great ...

Yes, he has shown up every morning! He chatters for a while in the tree and then comes down to the feeding perch for breakfast -- I can watch him from my bedroom window!

I'm happy to say that the wild IRN has discovered the feeding perch I made for him! This morning, I saw him sitting on the perch eating the parrot food - it makes me feel good that he knows there is food and a safe place to hang out with all of the other birds who visit my yard.

I have had a lone green parrot visiting my backyard feeders for a while, but have only recently seen him close enough to determine that he is a male Indian Ringneck parrot. I assume he is wild, but realize he could have been an escaped pet. He usually hangs out in my mimosa tree in the early morning...
